Patient will be base on Charles Manson.

Patient will be base on Charles Manson. Pretend he is the patient. This is Mental Health Care plan. Patient History C.M. is an American male born in 1934 who was a cult leader and criminal convicted for conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder after masterminding a series of notorious and gruesome murders of famous innocent victims Hollywood. The killing spree was conducted by his followers, who were devout members of the Manson Family, which became a cult (Felton and Dalton, 1970). The patient had a troubled childhood from poor and neglected parenting and living and growing up in a harsh environment that did not promote positive human growth and development. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and paranoid delusional disorder evidenced by his numerous episodes of delusions, including holding and teaching the belief that an apocalypse in the form of a race war where Black Americans rose to slaughter all the Whites would happen and leave the Manson Family in the position of a dominant power (Rosenberg, 2019). He was also diagnosed with an antisocial personality disorder evidenced by his disregard for wrong and right, other peoples’ feelings by antagonizing, manipulating, and treating them harshly with indifference and showing no remorse or guilt for the behavior. Substance Abuse, Addiction or Violence Issues Surrounding the Mental Health Problem C.M’s mental health problem could be significantly associated with substance abuse and addiction as he had a history of abusing drugs. The side effects of using drugs are known to influence drug users’ perceptions of self and their environment (Rosenberg, 2019). Also, unfavorable conditions for upbringing led him to develop violent tendencies right from his early childhood when he would recruit gullible classmates who would attack other students whom he seemed not to like. Attempted Interventions Some of the attempted interventions for C.M include spending time in juvenile reformatories as a child and serving jail terms for crimes as a youth and adult. The interventions aimed to relieve the aspects of delinquency but seemed not to work. This is because the patient would steal, commit auto theft and burglary repeatedly, get caught, and be sent to reform institutions over and again, and it escalated to the point of serving jail terms for crimes (Rosenberg, 2019). However, sentencing the patient to life imprisonment and denying him parole could be considered as a successful intervention because this kept him away from interacting with society, thus promoting public safety since it had already been established from the previous murders that he was a threat to the safety of the members of the general public. Triggers of Mental Illness towards Criminal Behavior Mental illnesses are significantly associated with progression towards criminal behaviors. Delusions characterize mental health diagnoses such as schizophrenia. These false beliefs inspire an individual in thinking that there is something wrong with others and thus encouraging them to act on situations (Vogel, 2014). When C.M’s prophesied apocalypse did not come to pass, he was motivated to initiate action by showing Blacks how it was done. Also, antisocial personality disorder has characteristics such as disregard for empathy, wrong or right, desire to exercise power over others which motivate individuals into involving in actions that hurt others, and stunts which are criminalized by society with callous indifference, such as the crimes committed by C.M and followers. Appropriate Nursing Interventions and Effectiveness Evaluation Nursing interventions for schizophrenia include looking into how the patient experiences delusions by exploring the delusions with the patient boosting the chances of effectively managing them. It also includes minimizing environmental stimuli, thus reducing anxiety, which triggers delusions (Pinho, Pereira & Chaves, 2017). The evaluation for the effectiveness is done by conducting follow-ups to assess whether the patient is on track. The interventions are useful when the patient does not destroy property or harm others, shows control over impulsive behavior, develops and expresses satisfaction with relationships. However, when the patient refuses to cooperate in the interventions, or there is no notable positive change observed, they are ineffective.
